The diagnosis of herpes (cold sores) is easily made based on the visual appearance of the lesions, and the best approach is to see a doctor at the first sign of a blister. If there is concern that the rash may not be herpes, a swab of blister fluid may be collected for viral culture or polymerase chain reaction test.
Barrel-aged beers are typically part of big release events at your favorite craft beer destinations and, with a few exceptions, arenât going to be found every day. When you see a local brewery or craft beer bar holding a barrel-aged release, make it a point to be part of it.
Beers are broadly divided into two categories: top-fermented ales and bottom-fermented lagers. Stouts are a type of ale that uses slow-fermenting yeast that evolved out of the porter style. Stouts tend to be thicker, darker, opaque beers with higher specific gravity - similar to milk. They are usually less bitter than other ales, and typically exhibit tones like chocolate, coffee, oatmeal, and milk.
